Campo, California
2 Land Tracts in San Diego County , Cottonwood-Tijuana Watershed
Campo, California, located in San Diego County, is at a very high risk for natural disasters due to its proximity to various geological features. The region is situated near the Laguna-San Diego Coastal hydrologic accounting unit and the Cottonwood-Tijuana hydrologic unit, making it susceptible to flooding and water-related hazards. Additionally, Campo lies in close proximity to the Southern California Coastal hydrologic subregion, which increases the risk of landslides and mudslides during heavy rainfall events.
The area's climate factors, including relatively high temperatures and moderate humidity levels, contribute to the risk of wildfires, which have historically posed a significant threat to Campo and its surrounding areas. The rugged terrain and mountain peaks in the region further exacerbate the risk of wildfires spreading quickly and causing extensive damage. Additionally, Campo's location near fault lines increases the risk of earthquakes, which can lead to widespread destruction and loss of life.
Furthermore, Campo's location in California puts it at risk of tsunamis and other coastal hazards, given its proximity to the Pacific Ocean. The combination of these factors results in a very high overall risk rating for the area, highlighting the importance of preparedness and mitigation efforts to protect the community from potential natural disasters.
